Can someone please post a photo or two of Redder Blood? I want to see if what I harvested looks similar.
thanks Rick

Thank you very much. Curzio and I speak off and on throughout the year.
I think it's safe to say what I harvested looks nothing like what I have just seen.
I'll go back into the cold room, find them and post the pictures. Growing potatoes in extreme heat changes them, both phenotypically and genotypically.

Rick, I'm not so sure that is the Redder Blood tuber. I see one of the same pictures in Curzio's Redder Blood TPS13. Kenosha CatalogI suspect the third picture I linked to may be the original tuber. |

I looked over the tubers I harvested, and they look somewhat similar, at least skin color. A little lighter color, but well within variation, I think. And the flesh is dark red. I would like to know the lines that Tom used to get to that point.
I may have not changed them all that much this year.
I will say, though, that I have been growing these for about 4-5 years. Never got more than a few knobby things. But I kept them and replanted.
I won't say I got a great harvest. But they went through temps up to 125f, and still put out about 2 lbs of decent sized tubers. Progress, not perfection, so they say.
Anyway, thanks for the pics
